Scott Van Pelt is back calling golf this week, and fans are very happy about it. There’s a lot to love about it, from his casual tone to his quippy one-liners, but I particularly enjoyed this brief but informative segment about the 18 months following Tiger’s Masters win.

As you can see below, SVP runs through Tiger’s 18 months since his iconic 2019 Masters victory, noting that he’s only played 10 events. and, as he goes onto explain, even despite his Zozo Championship victory and T-9 finish at Torrey Pines, his stats have been rather lackluster. Yet even still, he manages to put it together.

“When you don’t find fairways it’s hard to hit greens, yet somehow, probably because he’s Tiger Woods, he still finds a way to score,” he says.

“And ‘aint that the thing with Tiger these days? You just want to see him play. One way or another, the score seems to figure itself out.”
